Round Hong Kong Island Race 2007!

We came, we saw, we certainly conquered our greatest fears:











The Lamma Men and Women participated in the Round Hong Kong Island Race 2007. Day one was sprint races around Middle Island, and we SUCKED! The men got pushed off course in the home stretch (after tailing the Hawaiians, valiantly, for the greater part of the race).

The women got pinned off the first turn and never recovered, though the bronchial barking in the canoe leads us to believe that a boat with 5 sick women and 1 healthy woman does NOT a power team make.

Next year, we're coming back with power....

Nice pictures of
outrigger boat
that you have in your blog. I also like writing about this kind of boat but from traditional pacific islanders design point of view. Thanks
